A
letter from the king of pop Culture is a moment worthy of notice. I received my letter from his royal intelligence. The note was short and explicit.
“Crooked Little Vein, Warren Ellis. You need this.”
I needed this book. To state the facts simply, if the King of Pop Culture takes time to send message then Crooked Little Vein is worth exploring. Warren Ellis’s name attached is worth a notice. I have followed Warren Ellis’ career since his graphic series “Transmetropolitan”, and have always found his work embroidered with right mixture of sardonic wit to leave the audience in stitches.
I rushed to my local comic book store to buy a copy and they were fresh out. I had assumed “Crooked Little Vein” was another graphic novel from a Master of the genera. Google told me different, because you know the guys at the comic book store were far to busy with a debate on the softer uses of Wolverine’s claws to tell me and it turns out “Crooked Little Vein” is not a graphic novel but a novel.
A trip to the book store later, I have read “Crooked Little Vein”. The King of Pop Culture was right, I did need this book. From the first page, “Crooked Little Vein” takes the reader on a mad capped romp through America’s seedy underbelly. Every page is infused with Ellis’ trademark wit and keeps the readers interest between fits of laughter.
“Crooked Little Vein” follows Michael McGill, a human shit magnate, across American in a search for the backup copy of US constitution. McGill soon finds out America is sick. Perverts are everywhere and they watch too much internet porn. Is the backup US Constitution the answer or part of the problem? Pick up “Crooked Little Vein” by Warren Ellis and find out.
